How to connect Motion and Google Chat
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and Google Chat
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Motion, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Motion or Google Chat will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or Google Chat, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Google Chat, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Motion and Google Chat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Google Chat (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Motion and Google Chat
Motion + Google Chat + Google Calendar: When a new task is created in Motion, a message is sent to Google Chat to confirm the task creation, and an event is added to Google Calendar to remind the user about the task.
Google Chat + Motion + ClickUp: When a new message is received in Google Chat, a task is created in Motion, and a corresponding task is created in ClickUp to track the decision.
